Thompson and Morgan Melianthus Major Antonow's Blue Plant Pot 9cm 3 Pack

Bring a touch of drama to your garden with the rare and eye-catching Melianthus major 'Antonow's Blue', a honey bush that delights with its bold blue-green foliage and shimmering silver tones. You'll love how its deeply cut, jagged leaves create an architectural statement, while the sweet, peanut butter-like fragrance released when crushed adds a playful sensory surprise. Growing quickly to form an impressive feature by late summer, this half-hardy shrub thrives in sunny borders or large containers and makes an ideal companion for hot-coloured blooms. With a little seasonal care and patience in spring, you'll enjoy an exotic look that stands out in any setting. How to Grow: In mild areas, plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil. For colder regions, grow in containers so they can be moved indoors before frost. Water regularly, especially container plants. Aftercare: In autumn or early spring, remove old stems to prevent legginess—though this may limit flowering. In open borders, protect the base with a thick dry mulch and wrap the plant in fleece over winter. Plants are slow to start growing in spring, so patience is needed. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary the results. Image may be included for illustration of supply, but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months). Decorative pots are not supplied.
